While virtually inaugurating two flyovers in Ahmedabad on Monday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi worked hard and anticipated the adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and utilised this difficult time in making decisions of policy making.

Prime Minister Narendrabhai used the time of COVID-19 pandemic to visualise policy-making, keeping in mind its long-term impact on the economy, said Shah. He added: ?Without wasting a second, he worked on reforms in many areas like farm sector, electricity, and industrial policy, to create a system to maintain the pace of development. He also offered a package of Rs 20 lakh crore for the welfare of poor people and to give pace to the economy towards this end.

As a result, in terms of the recent GDP figure, we are only six per cent behind, and I hope that in the next quarter the GDP will be in the plus (positive) territory, the Home Minister said.

Shah said that the work of connecting all means of transportation has begun under the leadership of PM Modi. Gujarat is the first country to provide 24 hours of electricity in the villages. Gujarat also pioneered in setting up the best health infrastructure in India and initiate alternative energies like wind power and solar power in the country, he added.
